There's a pattern with Tesla threads here. I don't care if you all wanna discuss the deal or the cars but it always turns into paaaages and paaaages of bickering back and forth and nobody ,except for the few involved, enjoy that or wanna wade through that. So cut that stuff out, please and thank you.
FYI just because it says "New" doesn't mean it qualifies for the 7500 tax credit. Demo models are new but do not qualify for 7500. If the specific inventory item qualifies it will directly say it on the site.

Fisker has not filed for bankruptcy yet and are in talks with Nissan as an investor/partner.
Also, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) are currently looking into a safty matter regarding doors not openning.
Fisker could be gone, wait and see. Tesla is here to stay, deal with the "deals" as they come and go.
"New" cars will ALWAYS have miles on them in the USA as the government requires the dealships to test drive them before they place them up for sale.
Cheers,
lmao talks with Nissan are over. What rock have you been under….
If it is true, this is a great choice. Just charge it to 100% all the time.
Realistically, long range will only go 200 mile, 2 mile for each percent of charge. Tesla did real magic to make it look like 300 miles
This is not true. What the other commenter said about LFP cells is true. It's a different battery chemistry that is less energy dense, but you can charge to 100% no problem.
I took delivery on 3/27. Ended up at $32,505 (before fees) with 3 miles on it. I was shocked to see it at $32k. Cancelled my order for one at $34k to grab it.
Wow. I waited 15 months for my order at $55,900 in 2022. My friend did worse, paying $67,900 at the peak of the market. And I didn't even get the tax credit because Tesla sold too many. How can they afford to sell these at $46k? It's pretty infuriating for current owners cause it sinks our resale values.
Love the car but hate the price drops after the fact.
I paid $4000 for a Macintosh IIsi and now I can get a computer with the same processing power for $15. I should've waited for prices to come down!

I don't really have an absolute position on Teslas/EVs. There are some really nice benefits (especially with a car like the Y, since I want an SUV) but there are some really major hidden costs associated with owning them.
So a quick google shows that the average insurance premium for a Tesla is $250/mo which is about double the average for ICE cars. Paying an extra $125 for the same coverage starts to eat into your energy savings..
It also costs money to set up your home to be able to properly charge your car. If you move around often, this can be a problem.
With all of that being said, these cars are super affordable. The price you pay to take the car off the lot (and the level of performance you get) are insane.
For those who want to know, I would wait for this version to have an LFP battery if you have been on the fence. The major difference is this technology allows you to recharge to the full 100%, oftentimes only needing to charge once a week.Once you get a Tesla, most people will say you should not charge it past 80% to prolong the battery, but that is for the NMC batteries. I found it strange all the talk on charging the battery when I first bought my Tesla, and that majority users were only charging 80% since you now have reduced range and will have to charge more frequently. Charging more frequently leads to more charge cycles, and it was all exhausting reading everything. This being said, once the LFP batteries come to the Model Y in the US, they will probably not be eligible for the tax credit because the batteries are made in China, and brings the percent of the car made in America less than the required threshold. Either way, in my opinion, I would rather have the LFP battery than is recommended to charge to 100% versus one that recommends 80%, severely limiting the advertised distance of the EV for weekly use.
Charge cycles are not measured by how many times you charge but a full cycle, which means 100-0-100 is one charge cycle but 100-50-100-50-100 is one charge cycle as well, not two.
Can you people just talk about the deal and move your EV discussion to somewhere else? I ask the mods/staff to remove this crap every time this is posted.
That said, long range looks like it starts from 44K. I wish that took some cuts as well.
Say the same thing in 2026: someone paid $37K in 2024.
tbh. Consider this statement. Leather heated and ventilated seats (coming soon), heated steering wheel, basic adaptive cruise control and free autosteer for 37k. How much cheaper do you think these can go? They are crushing the market and I am here for it. You cant buy a similar spec corolla cheaper than Long Range Model Y.
I bought MYLR at 52,990, I am out close to 7k, and that doesn't include the price I have to list at to get buyers down the line a couple years when I sell.
